The Victorians did not invent Christmas, but they transformed it. During the nineteenth century, older customs were gathered, reshaped and spread through royal example, Dickensian storytelling, industrial production, railway travel, mass publishing and the growing power of the family home.
A Victorian Christmas explores how the festive season became centred upon children, presents, Christmas trees, cards, crackers, elaborate meals, carols, charity and public entertainment. From candlelit royal drawing rooms and crowded toy shops to servants’ halls, bustling markets and spectacular pantomime stages, this richly detailed history reveals both the warmth of Victorian Christmas and the labour, commerce and inequality hidden beneath its polished image.
Accompanied by a specially created series of black-and-white engravings, the book brings key moments of the Victorian festive world vividly to life, including royal celebrations, Dickensian readings, crowded shops, lively inns and theatrical spectacle.
Discover:
• How Victoria and Albert helped popularise the family Christmas
• Why Dickens changed the emotional meaning of the season
• How Christmas cards, crackers and toy shops created new traditions
• What Victorians really ate at Christmas
• How servants, street sellers and shop workers made the celebration possible
• Why pantomimes, ghost stories and charitable appeals became seasonal essentials
• How Victorian customs developed into the modern Christmas
Lively, accessible and filled with vivid detail, A Victorian Christmas tells the story of how one extraordinary century took an old and varied festival and turned it into the celebration we still recognise today.

However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
